So there's no performance loss of 5% for searches?
As we're now doing one more hop from the index (now via the objectGUID)
to the dn.

Is it expected that only some workloads are faster?

Do these numbers already include the BINARY_SEARCH patches?

I guess you'll resort the commits so that the version bump happens
at the end just before the final patch that activates it in Samba?

Can you also run an autobuild without the activation in Samba,
so that we're sure we don't insert regressions for possible backports?

I'm planing to have a closer look during the next two weeks.
As this is a huge patchset that immediately results in a new
ldb release, we should take our time for this (as it won't make it
to 4.7.0) without rushing this into master.

Thanks!
